Today, with the collapse of so many specialized distributors, the challenge of independent filmmaking has become all the more arduous. For the independent producer, it's a time of survival of the fittest-of the lean and mean; of the most savvy and streetwise; of those who, tossed into the deep end without company or studio support, learn to swim. A few of the more wily, active individuals in the field will discuss ways and means of stayin' alive in the nineties.
